SkySong to Get $5M Restaurant Building

Wetta Ventures, Arizona State University Foundation and SkySong, The ASU Scottsdale Innovation Center will be joint in a partnership to develop a $5M, multiple-restaurant building at the thriving Scottsdale project.

Prominently located at the northeast corner of Scottsdale Road and SkySong Boulevard, the new 12KSF development is expected to include three to four tenants, one of which will be a 4,500SF farm-to-table restaurant. A unique feature to the development will be a 3KSF garden that will be professionally installed and curated.

Expected to break ground in January 2016, this will be the first and only restaurant project to service the 42-acre Innovation Center. Completion is slated for the second quarter of 2016. Wetta Ventures is currently seeking prospective restaurants looking to open in the fall of 2016.

Michael Rumpeltin of Brick & West Design is leading the architectural design of the project. Modern in design, the new space will blend indoors and outdoors with expansive operable glass and will be designed to integrate the landscape and the building. The massive shaded outdoor space will be home to a combination of restaurant dining patios and public open space.

Lushly landscaped, the space is protected from the sun during the warmest months of the year by a 45-foot cantilevered overhang that will be clad in translucent panel material and lit to provide the ambient lighting for the outdoor space. Brick & West is known for timeless design, immense creativity and designing some the Valley’s most-celebrated restaurants.
